The following are requirements derived from paragraph 40 of the CDM modalities and procedures:
The DOE shall, prior to the submission of the validation report to the Executive Board, have received from the project participants written approval of voluntary participation from the designated national authority of each Party involved, including confirmation by the host Party that the project activity assists it in achieving sustainable development; In accordance with provisions on confidentiality contained in paragraph 27(h) of the CDM modalities and procedures, the DOE shall make publicly available the project design document; The DOE shall receive, within 30 days, comments on the validation requirements from Parties, stakeholders and UNFCCC accredited non-governmental organizations and make them publicly available; After the deadline for receipt of comments, the DOE shall make a determination as to whether, on the basis of the information provided and taking into account the comments received, the project activity should be validated; The DOE shall inform project participants of its determination on the validation of the project activity. Notification to the project participants will include confirmation of validation and the date of submission of the validation report to the Executive Board; The DOE shall submit to the Executive Board, if it determines the proposed project activity to be valid, a request for registration in the form of a validation report including of the project design document, the written approval of the host Party and an explanation of how it has taken due account of comments received.
There are only minor issues which should be addressed by the DOE/project participants prior to the registration of the project.
Additional information
1) The DOE shall further justify how it has validated an operational lifetime and hence the period of investment analysis considered as 10 years is reasonable for the project activity. In doing so, the DOE shall clarify why no residual value of the project activity at the end of 10 years has been considered in IRR calculations, as it is noted that annual costs for maintenance of gas engines have been considered during the 10 year period in IRR analysis and the costs for maintenance of gas engines are highest in the 10th year (i.e. Euro 463,975). Please refer to VVM paragraph 111 (a). 2) The DOE has validated the annual operating costs for the project activity as 616,860 Euro p.a. via "Confirmed with experience of the similar project 1413" (p.18 of the VR). The DOE shall further justify how the O&M costs for project ref no. 1413 are representative for the project activity under consideration. In particular, the DOE shall explain how the O&M costs of registered CDM project 1413 have been validated. In doing so, the DOE shall provide a breakdown of the O&M costs and clarify how the value of O&M costs used in the IRR calculations has been independently cross checked for e.g. with actual values since the project activity (ref. no. 6000) is operational from April 2010. Please refer to VVM paragraph 111 (b).
